AYREON UNDERSTANDS THAT HE WAS NOT INDIVIDUALLY CHOSEN FOR THE "TIME

TELEPATHY EXPERIMENT", BUT THAT HE UNINTENTIONALLY RECEIVED ITS

TRANSMISSIONS. THIS COULD BE BECAUSE OF A MORE DEVELOPED SIXTH SENSE AS A

RESULT OF HIS BLINDNESS. HE ALSO REALISES THAT HE CAN NEITHER ACCOMPLISH HIS

MISSION, NOR STOP THE VISIONS FROM PENETRATING HIS MIND. HIS SOLE ESCAPE IS

TO SUBMIT TO THE MAGIC CHARM OF THE GREAT SEER MERLIN.



AYREON:

I've been lost in the valley of nightmares

I've been found in the garden of dreams

Speak thy charm, I know you are out there

Cast thy spell and silence the screams



But as I poise on the edge of life

Where time disappears

I bow in fear

To the charm of the seer



I've seen fear in valiant faces

I've seen hope in desperate eyes

Lead me home to familiar places

Lead me back to crystalline skies



And as I poise on the edge of life

Where time disappears

I bow in fear

To the charm of the seer



I have failed, I have been forsaken

I've been scorned and misunderstood

I have lost, my life has been taken

I'd surrender if only I could
